Peso Pluma faces drug cartel threats not to perform at Tijuana’s Caliente Stadium: ‘It

Peso Pluma was warned not to perform in an upcoming show at Caliente Stadium in Tijuana, Mexico next month, in a trio of banners posted around the city purportedly initialed by a drug cartel.

The 24-year-old musical artist, who is on his Doble P Mexico Tour, is scheduled to take the stage there October 14.

According to TMZ, the banners were signed by Jalisco New Generation Cartel and read: ‘This goes to Peso Pluma, refrain from presenting yourself on October 14, because it will be your last show due to your disrespect and loose tongue.’

The news outlet Punto Norte reported that the cartel had initialed each banner.

The controversy over the singer – who performed at the MTV Video Music Awards Tuesday – could be tied to his corridos tumbados, a corrido with hip-hop that makes allusions to crime and drugs.

Authorities told The San Diego Union-Tribune that a total of three banners were found, and that one person had been taken into custody in connection with the banners.

The Baja California Attorney General’s Office has launched a probe into the banners, Tijuana Security Secretary Fernando Sánchez told the newspaper.

Based on the results of the investigation, officials will decide whether or not the concert will be canceled due to safety concerns, Tijuana Mayor Montserrat Caballero told the paper.

Caballero told the paper that the singer has not been in contact with city officials amid the recent threats.
